["Faced with well-trained adult men armed with spears, swords, and armor, it is not wise to attack head-on. You must learn to look for opportunities and defeat the enemy with one strike." This is what the old thief teaches you. Tips]

[You are actually no stranger to short and powerful weapons like daggers. After all, when you were working in the thief industry, you often used daggers to scratch other people's wallets, so learning it will get twice the result with half the effort]

[14 years old: Under the guidance of the old thief, you finally completed your first successful robbery. You laid a trap on the business road between Mondstadt and Liyue, and then swarmed up. When you put the dagger on the mercenary group When you grow your neck, you will feel a sense of accomplishment that you have never experienced before]

[Even if you become a bandit, you still adhere to the previous principle of only seeking wealth and not killing people. After all, it is fine if it is just robbery, but if a human life is lost, Liyue and Mond will naturally not sit idly by.]

[Age 15: Perhaps because you are bitter about being expelled from Liyue Port, you have never shown mercy to the caravans in Liyue Port. Although you didn't hurt anyone, your behavior was ruthless, especially during battles, and you were often beaten with bruises all over your body. Therefore, for a while, the name "The Fierce Thief Li Yunlong" spread like wildfire]

[However, your hatred is only for Liyue Port, but for the surrounding villages, you do not disturb each other, and occasionally conduct some trade and material exchanges with the villagers]

Chapter 1046 The surviving girl

[At the beginning, the villagers were quite wary and afraid of the bandits, but later they saw that you didn’t have any ill intentions, so they gradually let down their guard. What’s more, the things you sell are much cheaper than the merchants. 】

[The bandit group you have settled in has become more and more famous, especially your leader Yan'er, who has suddenly become the leader of the Southern Treasure Thief Group and is known as the "Southern Elder Sister". The people in the group are She is more accustomed to being called "eldest sister". You are the only one who dares to call her Sister Yan'er]

[As for you, because of your "business ability", you have become more and more proficient, and you have been recognized by the bandits. You even have a team of your own. And you have also given your team a resounding codename-Independence. group】

[Obviously you are a bandit, but you have given the name of a regular army. This is naturally a provocation to Liyue Port. In fact, if you are beautiful in the forest, you will be destroyed by the wind. You have indeed been valued by Liyue and Mond, and even You have sent out troops many times to encircle and suppress the enemy, but you can successfully defend the enemy and escape every time ([The Glory of the Independent Regiment] talent effect is activated)]

[16 years old: On the other hand, the death of the emperor also triggered many butterfly effects. First, many immortals were disheartened because of the death of the emperor. They either flew away, or lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests, leaving clouds disappointed with human beings. Zhenjun Jiefeng even took away Gan Yu, the seven-star messenger who had served Liyue Port for thousands of years]

[The power of Yuehaiting was weakened by the departure of Gan Yu, and coupled with the departure of God Lord, the power of Liyue Qixing reached its peak]

[On the other hand, the loss of the blessings of gods and immortals has also made Liyue Port's strength less than before, which has also caused some unstable factors to begin to take hold]

[The first ones who couldn't be restrained were the bandits from Inazuma. Because the Inazuma people were generally short in stature, these criminal groups composed of samurai and pirates were also called "Japanese pirates"]

[Unlike your bandit group, these Japanese pirates are cruel and easy to kill and have no principles. Whether they attack caravans or villages, they usually kill them all]

[Your independent regiment has also fought against Japanese pirates several times. Although they have gained advantages, the bandit regiment's strength is limited after all. However, these Japanese pirates can continuously replenish their troops from Inazuma's own country, and their members are generally trained They are known as sea chaos ghosts, so they are very difficult to deal with]

[Although Liyue Port also sent Qianyan troops to resist the Japanese pirates, they had little effect. Their understanding of the Japanese pirates sometimes cannot even catch up with you bandits]

[17 years old: Perhaps because of the loss of the emperor’s protection, Liyue this year ushered in a drought that had not happened for a long time. Many places had no harvests. Not only did food prices rise sharply, many villages even fell into the embarrassment of famine. 】

[To make matters worse, the Japanese pirate attacks did not stop, but became more rampant. One day, as usual, when you wanted to go to a village at the junction of Mondstadt and Liyue to exchange some food, you were surprised to find that, This place has been turned into a ruins, with traces of murder and arson everywhere. At first glance, it is the tactics of Japanese pirates]

【Entering somatosensory mode】

After all, the description in words was a bit weak. When he saw the tragic situation in reality, Li Xingshan was more or less shocked.

The originally prosperous village has now become a land of death, with corpses everywhere. Most of the male corpses were mutilated. It was obvious that they had been tortured before death. As for the female corpses, they were even more unbearable. Head.

"These Japanese pirates are too cruel."

Li Ding swallowed and murmured: "Boss, what should we do next?"

"You little brat..." Li Xingshan bit his lip and said bitterly, "Everyone listen to the order and go search to see if there are any survivors and other supplies."

The invasion of Japanese pirates is like the entry of locusts. It is basically difficult to leave any survivors or supplies, but everyone still obeys your orders, while the remaining people dig holes and build graves under your orders to prepare to bury these corpses.

"After counting, there are sixty-seven households in the village, with a total of 212 people...no one is spared." Soon, Li Dang brought the news.

"Wait..." At this moment, the old thief's ears moved slightly, and he looked at a remote house not far away and said, "There seems to be someone in that house. movement."

That's right, Li Xingshan's "master" has also joined his team. Although his fighting skills are not bad, he is too old and basically cannot fight on the field. He can only do some logistics work. Of course, his rich experience is what Li Xingshan values ​​more.

Li Xingshan squinted his eyes and walked towards the house. Before he got close, he could already smell a strong smell of blood.

When he opened the door, he saw two corpses. The corpse of a middle-aged woman had her clothes stripped off and her body was covered with scars. She had obviously been abused before her death.

The room is not big, and there is basically no place to hide people. Even if there is, they will definitely be searched by the Japanese pirates.

But Li Xingshan was considered an "old Jianghu" after all. Soon, he discovered a piece of floor that seemed a little unnatural. He pried it gently with his fingers, and sure enough, a secret door opened.

This is a secret door in a cellar. Villagers often use it to store food and vegetables. However, such cellars are generally narrow and cannot hide people...or, in other words, adults.

The moment he opened the secret door, Li Xingshan suddenly felt a murderous intention. He saw a slender figure burst out of the cellar, holding a dagger, and stabbed Li Xingshan directly in the chest. .

Although the attack was very sudden, the speed was still a bit slow. Facing Li Xingshan, who was experienced in fighting, it was naturally impossible to succeed. With a single movement of his hand, he directly grasped the man's wrist.

Only then did Li Xingshan see the person's appearance clearly. She was a girl with long purple-red hair. She seemed to be three or four years younger than him. Although she looked good, her face was extremely pale and she had obvious dark circles under her eyes. It looks like he hasn't rested for a long time.

"Young people don't have martial ethics," Li Xingshan narrowed his eyes and said, "You actually came to attack me?"

"You...you bad guys!" The girl seemed to have lost her mind and kept struggling: "I want to kill you and avenge my parents!"

"Please wake up!" Li Xingshan shouted: "We were not the ones who killed them, it was the Japanese pirates!"

This loud shout seemed to wake the girl up, and Li Xingshan softened his tone and said, "Don't be afraid, it's okay. Tell me, what's your name?"

Chapter 1047 He is my master

Perhaps because she knew she had narrowly escaped death, or perhaps because she was in agony over the death of her parents, the girl couldn't hold it back and cried loudly.

"My...my name is...Rosalia..."

"Rosalia, right?" Li Xingshan stretched out his hand, patted her shoulder and said, "You should know me, I am the leader of the nearby bandit group. Although I am not a good person, I will not kill indiscriminately. innocent."

Rosalia finally calmed down a little, and while sobbing, she nodded and said, "I...I remember you. You came to the village...in exchange for food."

"I will find a way to send you to a safe place," Li Xingshan asked, "Do you want to go to Mondstadt or Liyue?"

This is a village at the junction of Mondstadt and Liyue. Although it is closer to Liyue, the girl's name and appearance are closer to those of Mondstadt. The West Wind Church should take in this homeless orphan.

Unexpectedly, Rosalia bit her lips and said, "I don't want to go anywhere, I... I want revenge."

"Don't worry, I will unscrew the heads of those guys for you," Li Xingshan said sternly: "As for a little girl like you, you'd better forget these painful memories and start a new life... "

"How...how could I forget!" Rosalia covered her head, her pretty face, but with a hint of ferocity in her expression at this time: "I saw those guys in the cellar. Face, I...I want to kill them with my own hands! Let me join the bandits, as long as I can kill the enemy with my own hands, no matter what the price is, even if...it's me Own."

Li Xingshan looked at her figure that had shriveled up due to famine, and said with a helpless expression: "I'm not interested in a little girl like you who is still young..."

When Rosalia heard this, she lowered her head in disappointment. Obviously she also knew that it was impossible for the Bandits to take in a girl out of nowhere.

"However, if you can cook, wash dishes, boil water and chop wood, I wouldn't mind taking you in." Li Xingshan stretched out a hand towards Rosalia and said, "Your dagger is pretty good, you can show it to me." see?"

Rosalia nodded quickly, handed the dagger over, and said, "This is... my birthday gift from my father."

To be honest, it was just a very ordinary dagger, and the workmanship was a bit rough. After all, he was not from a wealthy family, so naturally he couldn't afford any expensive gifts.

"Since it is my father's relic, it is better not to let it be stained with blood." Li Xingshan took out his dagger from his waist, handed it to Rosalia, and said: "This is my old friend, I will teach you How to use it, but you have to agree in advance, being a bandit is very hard, have you... made up your mind?"

Rosalia tightened her grip on the dagger Li Xingshan handed her. She suddenly gritted her teeth, stretched the sharp dagger to the back of her head, and slashed hard. The beautiful long purple hair was cut off in an instant and scattered. And down.

"This... is my determination!" Rosalia said with firm eyes, "That weak girl has been killed by me myself."

Li Xingshan knew in her heart that what she cut off was not only her long hair, but also the connection with her former self.

"Let's go, I'll get you some food first," Li Xingshan held Rosalia's hand and said, "Then, let's bury your parents together."

Rosalia nodded, but at this moment, a sound of gold and iron suddenly came from outside the door. Li Xingshan was startled and rushed out quickly.

He originally thought that the Japanese pirates were back, but when he went out, he only saw his men fighting with a group of Qianyan Army soldiers.

"Everyone, stop it!"

Li Xingshan broke into the formation of the two armies and shouted loudly. The bandits' men immediately stopped. Although the Qianyan Army was also frightened, they were still fully equipped and seemed not to stop.

"It's you?"

A slightly familiar voice suddenly broke into Li Xingshan's ears. As the crowd of Qianyan soldiers separated, a purple-haired woman walked out. She looked at Li Xingshan with a slightly complicated expression and said: "Li Yunlong, you little Thief, you’re not dead yet?”

There are only two people who would call Li Xingshan "little thief", one is Sister Yan'er, and the other is naturally Ke Qing.

The last time they met, they were still children under ten years old, but now, their appearance has changed.

The eldest lady who used to be bossy has now become graceful and incomparable. But that handsome little boy has turned into a beard-covered, slightly vulgar bandit.

However, despite this, the two recognized each other immediately.

"Hey, isn't this the Miss Keqing whose shoes I stole back then?" Li Xingshan said with an unforgiving smile, "Why, have you become an officer now? Could it be because of the family support? Bar?"

"Nonsense!" Keqing frowned and said, "I have been able to reach this point only because of my own efforts. I have never relied on help from my family. Why do you, a vicious thief who burns, kills, and loots, talk about me? "

"Looting, I admit it, but we have never done anything like burning and killing," Li Xingshan sneered: "If we really killed these villagers, why should we waste our time helping them bury them in peace? "

Hearing what Li Xingshan said, Ke Qing felt inexplicably relieved. Although she knew that Li Xingshan was not a kind person, there was absolutely no way he could be so bad. However, the adjutant beside her questioned: "Maybe This is just to deceive others, how could you bandits be so kind?"

"Hmph..." Li Xingshan said impatiently: "It doesn't matter. After all, we have been blamed for so many times, haven't we? If you can't catch those Japanese pirates, you can only seek our bad luck and fight them if you want. Fight, are you scared?"

Li Xingshan's men were all militants who were not afraid of causing trouble. They couldn't swallow this breath in the first place, but they didn't mind fighting Qianyan's army to the death.

However, at this tense moment, a slender girl emerged from the crowd, stood in front of Li Xingshan, and said loudly: "It wasn't them who massacred the village, it was the group of Japanese pirates. If you had killed those evil thieves earlier, If we wipe it out, how can our village..."

The girl was naturally Rosalia. No matter how she looked at her, she didn't look like she was from the Bandits. When Keqing and the Qianyan Army heard this, they were silent for a while. After a while, Keqing asked: " What is your relationship with this man?"

Rosalia glanced at Li Xingshan and said resolutely: "From today on, he...is my master."

Chapter 1048 Liyue Crisis

As soon as this statement came out, everyone, including Li Xingshan, fell silent.

Indeed, one cannot criticize a rural girl too much. Maybe she simply believes that working in a bandit group to avenge her parents is equivalent to signing a contract of betrayal. As a small leader, Li Xingshan naturally He is her "master".

"Li Yunlong, you guy..." An angry symbol with the word "#" appeared on Ke Qing's forehead, and he gritted his teeth and said, "After all these years, you are still stubborn!"

"Hey, hey, listen to my explanation!" Li Xingshan said at a loss of whether to laugh or cry: "I never asked her to call me master!"

"I won't listen to your explanation!" Ke Qing said angrily: "Scum! Scum! Seshan bandit!"

"Bandit is already a derogatory term, so don't add any other modifications..." Li Xingshan sighed and said, "You should be very clear about my criminal record. We mostly bully men, but never dominate. female."

To be honest, the conversation between these two people didn't sound like they were rivals, but more like...a young couple having a conflict.

This time, it was the people on both sides' turn to become embarrassed.

Logically speaking, the Qianyan Army and the bandits are naturally at odds with each other, but right now, their common enemy is the Japanese pirates.

What's more, the relationship between the leaders on both sides seems to be somewhat entangled.

Ke Qing seemed to realize that something was not right about the current atmosphere, so she winked at Li Xingshan and said, "Come here, I have something to talk to you alone."

Li Xingshan frowned, but nodded and followed, not forgetting to turn around and say to the brothers: "You are not allowed to do anything until I come back."

Li Ding suddenly said: "Then what if they attack first?"

Li Xingshan smiled and said: "Damn it, if someone hits you, you won't fight back! Is that thing hanging in your crotch a rolling pin? Just fight back, if anything happens, I'll bear it. If the sky falls, I'll bear it." Still waiting."

The bandits laughed again, but the Qianyan Army looked rather ugly.

Li Ding's "worry" naturally does not exist. Compared with this group of "loose" bandits, the discipline of these Qianyan Army is much stricter. As long as the commander Keqing does not order an attack, it is absolutely impossible for them to attack. .

Li Xingshan followed Ke Qing into an empty room. As soon as he entered, Ke Qing rolled her eyes at Li Xingshan and said angrily: "When did you become so vulgar?"

"Otherwise?" Li Xingshan sneered: "I was driven out of Liyue Port since I was a child and became a bandit. How could I have the chance to study and learn etiquette?"

Because of the incident of the emperor's death, the Treasure Thieves Group had already transformed from street rats to scum that everyone wanted to kill. But a smart person like Ke Qing naturally understood long ago that the Treasure Thieves Group was just for He was just a scapegoat to calm public opinion, so he still felt a little guilty towards Li Xingshan.

"Then you..." Keqing changed the subject and said, "How have you been doing these past few years?"

"How am I doing?"

Li Xingshan was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but smile, but took two steps closer to Ke Qing. The latter subconsciously wanted to step back, but his back was already against the wall. Li Xingshan, on the other hand, unbuttoned his collar and began to take off his shirt.

"You...what do you want to do!" Ke Qing quickly stretched out her hands to cover her face, but she still observed the situation from between her fingers and said shyly: "You...don't think that I have any intentions. You can do whatever you want if you feel guilty. If you do this again, I...I won't be polite to you!"

However, Li Xingshan had already taken off his shirt and said calmly: "This is the 'life' I have lived these years."

Looking at the scene in front of her, Keqing slowly widened her eyes. She saw that the body of the man in front of her was covered with countless scars, large and small, some of which were serious and shocking.

When she thought of the naughty and cute boy back then, who had now turned into a bandit who looked down on life and death, Ke Qing's eyes suddenly became a little moist.

"Okay, let's stop talking about old times here," Li Xingshan said disapprovingly: "What do you want to talk to me about?"

"Then I'll tell you the truth," Keqing adjusted her mood and said, "You should be very aware that Japanese pirates have been rampant in recent years. Don't you think it's a little strange?"

"It's true," Li Xingshan touched his chin and said, "Although there were Japanese pirates in the past, they were only sporadic, but during this time, their activities were too frequent, and their combat power was also different. .”

"That's right, after many discussions between our Liyue Seven Stars..."

Before Ke Qing finished speaking, Li Xingshan suddenly interrupted: "Wait! 'We are the Seven Stars of Liyue'? So, are you already the Seven Stars of Liyue now?"

"Well," Keqing nodded and said, "I have taken over the position of Yuhengxing."

"Then should I call you 'Master Yuheng'?" Li Xingshan teased.

"Don't be so weird here, I...I was also ordered to do something in danger," Keqing raised his eyebrows and said: "In short, we suspect that the backer of these Japanese pirates is the shogunate of Daozuma."

The meaning of this sentence is equivalent to "the treasure stealing group's backer is actually the Seven Stars of Liyue".
